I'm sick of all these knights in shining armor parts, I want to do something worthwhile like plays and films that have something to say.
I've worked with the likes of Ram Gopal Varma in 'Rakhta Charitra' and Mani Ratman in 'Raavan' - both these films released in Hindi as well. You need to have something substantial to make a mark in Bollywood and these movies gave me strong characters.
It's the hardest thing in the world to dedicate to writing, but if you do that even once a week, after six months or a year you'll have something substantial.
I don't mind being in the public eye as long as I am doing something substantial.
I took my time to learn the craft and procedure. I wanted to do some substantial work first in cinema.
That's the kind of work I like to do: challenging work that has a message.
I think that's what really a substantial work is, it's forever. It's the truth now and it was the truth then, and it will be the truth tomorrow.
It will be true work that the kids can follow, as opposed to a facade of you doin' something, and you're doin' nothing.
Bono actually gets a lot of substantial work done. The guy really does put a lot of things together and, while I'm not a fan of his music, I greatly applaud his humanitarian efforts.
There is just so much stuff in the world that, to me, is devoid of any real substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I am working on things that matter.
I have always been known for my glamour but I wanted to do something strong and substantial on TV, which is a woman dominated medium.
I got lot to do at a pretty young age in terms of emotionally challenging films. I did not do any fluff... fluff is not me.
